Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Su Li could only fall asleep while holding Luo Chen in her arms. The cold was not something the little princess could endure.

Not to mention whether Luo Chen could withstand this extreme cold, if Su Li lay on the ground to sleep, he would definitely turn into an ice sculpture the next day.

Only after Su Li hugged Luo Chen did she realize that her body was as cold as ice.

Su Li hugged Luo Chen tightly, trying her best to transfer her body temperature to Luo Chen.

Su Li was troubled as to why Bing Ji was so inhumane.

"Before dying at the hands of the enemy, he might have been killed by Bing Ji first..."

Luo Chen clung tightly to Su Li and curled up into a ball, but his body still couldn't stop shaking because of the cold.

Su Li suddenly thought of an idea. Although it could not completely isolate the cold, it could at least relieve the current pain.

Su Li used the power of the wind element to direct the cold air out of the tent.

The outside air was injected back into the tent, and the temperature inside began to rise slowly.

"Just make do with it for one night."

Only when the temperature reached the range that Su Li could bear did he breathe a sigh of relief. After a tiring night, he could finally have a good rest.

And somewhere in the stronghold, Bingji was looking proudly at the tent where Su Li and Luo Chen were.

"You're quite sensible. If you can't bear it and run out, I'll let you feel the bitter cold."

……

The next day, Su Li woke up slowly, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Chen who had been staring at her.

When Luo Chen saw Su Li wake up, he quickly shifted his gaze and whispered, "You...you're awake."

Only then did Su Li realize that Luo Chen was still in her arms. No wonder she had been staring at her after waking up.

Su Li let go of her hand, sat up, stretched lazily, got out of bed, and walked out of the tent.

"I'll go wash my face first. I'm still a little sleepy..."

Su Li found an excuse to leave, came to the stream, and washed her face with clean water to make herself more awake.

"Why do I always feel that life has been so unreal lately..."

Is time going fast or slow?

Bingji came to Su Li at some point and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Su Li was frightened. He was very familiar with this voice. In recent days, Su Li would meet Bing Ji wherever he went. He felt like he was being followed.

"It's... not bad."

Su Li turned around, took two steps back, and kept a distance from Bing Ji.

"It looks like the small talk is coming to an end. Time is running out."

Bingji looked up at the sky and closed his eyes.

Su Li asked with some confusion: "Hmm? What do you mean..."

Bingji looked at Su Li and smiled, "In fact, we have known each other for a long time."

"???"

Su Li looked at Bing Ji suspiciously. Was she playing some trick on her again to amuse herself? But looking at Bing Ji's expression, it seemed that she was not joking this time.

Su Li asked in confusion: "What does this mean..."

Bingji sighed and slowly said: "This is just a memory of time and space. In fact, everything now, we have already experienced it."

"What do you mean?"

Su Li was completely shocked. This was the most unrealistic sentence he had ever heard since he came to this world.

“Here now are your memories.”

Bingji spoke again and said bluntly: "I am not the same person I was at the beginning. Don't you think everything happened too suddenly?"

"My...my memories?!"

Su Li didn't believe that all this was a dream. If this was a dream, then he shouldn't feel pain or fatigue, and a dream couldn't last so long.

"To be precise, it's a stream of memories."

Bingji smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I really liked you so much at the beginning?"

Su Li was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant.

Bingji continued, "In fact, I drove you out after you brought Luochen back, but that little fool was willing to leave with you."

Su Li was even more surprised. In his memory, Bing Ji not only did not drive him away, but even betrothed Luo Chen to him.

"Yes, some nodes in the memories can be changed, but these changes will not affect the results."

Bingji continued to explain, then glanced at the shocked Su Li.

"Still don't believe it? If I'm not mistaken, you should have considered going to the Star City Tower, right?"

Su Li was no longer shocked at this moment. He nodded silently. He had received too much information and his brain was in a mess.

"So, why do you want me to remember?"

Bingji sighed and replied: "Because you have fallen into the abyss."

"Falling into the abyss?"

"Well, let me tell you this, when you leave the Star Tower, you will go to the Killing Domain to look for the Little Wisdom Fruit King."

Su Li was completely confused, but Bing Ji's words didn't sound like nonsense, so she could only continue listening.

"But you were attacked halfway through and disappeared for a year."

"A year?!"

When Su Li heard this number, she couldn't believe what she had experienced in this year.

Bing Ji shook his head. "As for what happened in this year, no one knows. When you came back, you had changed completely."

"..."

Su Li was silent. No matter how she thought about it, it seemed like Bing Ji was predicting her future, rather than just recalling the past.

"Su Li, normally you have been in Xing Ji for more than a year, but the flow of memories has filtered out the unimportant information."

"So, you tell me now what these are..."

Su Li already had a premonition that if all this was true, it would definitely not be a good thing.

“Haha… Although the time in the outside world seems to pass very slowly in my memories, as I said, I can no longer support this power.”

"what do you mean……"

"If you haven't woken up after climbing up the Star City Tower, you will be trapped in that day forever."

"That's too much information. Let me take a break."

Su Li still found it a little hard to believe. As far as she could remember, she didn't seem to have missed any time from the time she came to this world until now.

"Haha, maybe this is good for you. After all, you don't even have the courage to face reality."

Bingji shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.

"Why……"

Su Li looked at Bing Ji's departing back, and for some reason she felt a sense of familiarity.

"If you have the courage, wake up and face everything. At least you can still try once."

……

Bingji came near the tent and looked at Luochen from afar.

At this time, Luo Chen and Muchen were collecting the extra pieces of wood and fiddling with them carefully.

Bingji smiled gently and sighed slowly.

"Why didn't I see you so happy last time..."

Su Li followed. He wanted to ask about the future and also wanted to know how to break the memories.

"If this isn't the real world, does that mean there's no future here?"

"That's right. After all, you have already given up your future with your own hands."

"I want to go out, is there any way?"

Watching Muchen and Luochen playing not far away, Su Li wanted to know what her relationship with them was in the real world.

"Summon your Xingli Flower Blade, tear the space apart, and you can get out."

"Xingli... Flower Blade?"

Su Li didn't remember having this weapon, let alone having heard of it.

"You are the only one who can summon this weapon. Whether it is the past or the future, it has been determined since the moment you left the Sand Region."

Bingji coughed twice and said apologetically, "I didn't approve of you before. After all, you took Luochen away from me."

"Um……?"

"Haha, I almost froze you into an ice sculpture. I'm so sorry."

Bingji had a playful smile on her face, and Su Li couldn't see any guilt in her.

"Okay, Su Li, if you want to come back, then hurry up. Once this world completely collapses, you will never be able to get out again."

Bingji looked back at Suli, and a chill swept through the entire camp.

"The rest of the journey depends on you alone, so don't let me down."

Su Li understood what she meant. Bing Ji's consciousness was about to return, and she was warning herself to crawl back quickly.

Before Su Li could react, Bing Ji disappeared in a flash, leaving Su Li standing there alone.

Luo Chen also noticed Su Li at this time, and ran over to ask in confusion: "Brother Su Li, what's wrong with you?"

Su Li noticed that Luo Chen was looking at her face, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, leaving a hint of red on her hand.

"Ah..." Su Li stared blankly at the bright red on his hand, tears and blood continuously flowing from his right eye.

Luo Chen's expression also became anxious, and she seemed to be frightened as well.

"Brother Suli, my tears... my tears have turned red. Is that okay?"

Su Li wiped away the blood and tears, and Bing Ji's words kept echoing in her mind.

"Princess, I have a question."

"Well, Brother Suli, wipe your tears first..."

Luo Chen took out a handkerchief from his body and handed it to Su Li.

Taking the handkerchief, Su Li covered her right eye, then looked at Luo Chen and asked, "Since when did you accept me?"

Luo Chen was stunned. She hesitated a little, but still answered softly: "From the moment Brother Su Li saved me."

Su Li nodded and smiled: "At least you will accompany me for two reincarnations."

According to Bingji, if he was expelled in reality, the only one who would accompany him would be Luochen.

And now, in this world that seems like a dream but not a dream, this place is not an illusion.

Cause and effect cycle, if the result is already determined, then the change of the cause will not affect the future, or will not be able to affect the future.

Therefore, if Su Li did not leave here before going to the Sand Region, she would fall into reincarnation again and start over.

Over and over again, he kept experiencing everything that was happening now, and each time it would end before the sand area.

Because these "causes" have no "results", Suli will be trapped in reincarnation unless he can break this cycle and return to the world where cause and effect are intertwined.

Su Li figured everything out, so the next thing to do was not how to save Xingji, but how to escape from her own dream.
